The way I read it, Python code as it is, won't see a huge bump it's like 10x or something.

You have to use special syntax and refactoring to get the 1000x speed ups. The secret sauce is essential a whole new language within the language which likely helps skip the GIL issues.

Do they claim that existing python code would get a 10x bump? That sounds too good to be true
